LIFE IS SIMPLE - From the book PERCEPTION - WHY ME

Posted by Bharat P. Bedi

 LIFE IS SIMPLE

 

General Perception is that life is difficult. Life is very simple. There is nothing in life that is bad. It is our thinking which makes thing good or bad. Actually how we react to situations that decides how we live. Our grooming from childhood plays a bearing on how we perceive & tackle situations. A major problem for one can be a cakewalk for other.

 The best way to live life is to Live it as simple as possible.

 Life is not difficult but we make it seem difficult. First step towards living a simple life is living in the present. Most of our time & energy is wasted in worrying of past & future. We carry the burden of the past & think of the future. This way, our present passes by without our enjoying or living it. We are always away from the present.

Present is the present of God. He wants us to live in the present & enjoy the moment. When we are so engrossed in the present our thoughts are not corrupted by the past or fear/planning of the future. Thus we are in a state of purity where our enjoyment & involvement in that particular activity is seen, observed, experienced & judged from the point of view of that particular activity & not prejudged or prejudiced by our past experience or future fears.   

 Living simple & in present should be the best way a Human being can live a fruitful & stress less life. This is how God meant it to be, our Religious texts teach us & our Saints preach us. In nature we see this simple principle. They live in harmony. Their life & behaviour pattern revolves around to the immediate needs a situation demands. Their behaviour is according to the expected behaviour assigned to that particular being by God. Erosion we see in nature is mainly man made & not by other creatures.

God has given us the power to think, analyze & plan out our work to make progress in the quality of life - spiritually & materially. This power is mainly utilized in negative pursuits, which makes us slave of our own needs, thoughts & deeds.

 We experience the benefits of being in the present when we are engrossed in something which is dear to us – in sat sang or in any activity which is to our liking or any work which we feel is beneficial & important for us. In such a state our concentration is on the work at hand. This improves our level of efficiency, productivity & creativity. In fact we enjoy the state. When we enjoy doing something particular we excel in it & that excellence is obtained without straining ourselves. This is called sweet success. Success without burden of the past or worry of the future.

 We should enjoy the present by learning from the past & past should be the guiding light showing the future path. Past is a teacher. Like characters & lessons in a textbook, characters & lessons in life has remained the same since ages. Only appearance has changed.

A teacher teaches from the texts for questions, which have to be answered in the exams. All students are taught the same but it depends on the individual student how he is able to grasp the topic & how much he has learned from it. That determines how you fare in exams. Those who are good learner will excel & those who have wasted their time are the ones like us who most of the time worry of the future & curse the past. This is how we are unable to enjoy our life. Present is wasted in repenting of the past & worrying for the future.

 We have read the story of Sheikhchilly. He knew that to cut wood you need an axe. He climbed a tree to cut a branch. He sat on the wrong side of the branch. The result was he fell down with the branch. He had the knowledge to cut wood but was not sure about the procedure to be adopted. This is the story of our life. Sheikhchilly was a fool or a person who felt, in false belief, that he knew everything. If we learn from our misfortune than we are wise otherwise we will repeatedly make the same mistake.

LIFE IS SIMPLE, LIVE IT SIMPLY.

WE COMPLICATE IT.

INSTEAD OF LIVING AS OURSELVES

WE TRY TO BE SOMEBODY ELSE.

Read the book "PERCEPTION-WHY ME" in this blog to know how minor changes in our thoughts & behaviour can improve our quality of life.
